City Council will consist of twelve Demo
Gratis and eight Republicans in the first

result of the election was great surprise

FOOD FOR SHARKS.

The Horrible Fate Which Besen q Mail
Carrier While Crossing an Inlet on the
Florida Coast in Frail Boat-An-Eye-
Witness Story.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. N.-James e.
Hamilton, the mail carrier between Miami
and Lake Worth, on the South Atlantic
coast, met with a horrible death at Hills
boro Inlet on Tuesday. These inlets are
dangerous places to cross, the swift cur.
rent from the Everglades meeting the
tides and producing dangerous and strong
cross currents. They are crossed in small
boats.
Owing to the immense quantity of fish
to be found here, ferocious sharks of the
man-eating kind abound. Hamilton was
an athletic young man, and carried the
mail between the two places, some seven
ty-hve miles, on his back, walking near
the entire distance on the beach. Tues.
day he left the Orange Grove House of
Refuge and about noon arrived at the
inlet
The sharks were unusually thick, but he
never needed them and pushed out. About
half way over they clustered about his
boat so thick as to impede his progress,
and then he saw his peril. Clubbing his
oars, he began striking them. The blows
only seemed to irritate the fierce creatures
dashed from his hands. The ferocious
sea wolves scented blood, and leaped ten
and twenty feet out Of the water in their
eagerness.
Attacks then began on the boat, and
huge pieces were bitten out of the sides.
1t began to fill with water, and Hamilton
became crazed with fear. Tearing off the
seats, he struck at the sharks wildly, hop
ing to brighten them off. One huge shark
drove at the boat full tilt, and the shock
threw Hamilton in the midst of the ex-
pectant tigers. A horrible shrek of agony
rang out as he touched the water,
and then nothing could be seen, for
the fury of the mad creatures threw up
vast sheets of water. An old fisherman,
who witnessed the terrible scene from a
distance, carried the news to the next
station. A searching party was sent out,
but only the fragments of the boat wer
found. The shock is great that no one
has as yet volunteered to carry the mail
over that route.
